Living Well with ME: A Mindfulness-based Approach

Living with a long-term health condition such as ME can give rise to stress, tension, irritation and depression. While these are perfectly normal and understandable reactions, they are ultimately unhelpful in dealing with a long-term health condition. Mindfulness provides a way to change our relationship to the ME, by providing a tool kit of resources that help reduce these unhelpful reactions. Some of the benefits of learning and practising Mindfulness include:

• an increased ability to relax and experience calm

• greater confidence in ability to undertake activities

• increased ability to cope effectively with flare-ups or set-backs

• an increased ability to cope more effectively with short and long-term stress

• a decreased tendency to catastrophise (i.e. imagine the worst)

Fidelma has run several of these courses for the M.E. Trust, and has also worked with many individuals who have M.E.
